The Prophet, Jonah, had a life's journey so similar to each of us and as we study about his life we are to be encouraged. Each of us could say, "I am Jonah". Jonah's story included seasons of time: Running from God's will, submitting to God's will, fulfilling God's will and Questioning God's will. If this sounds like your journey, you too could say, I am Jonah!

In spite of panic bursting like bombshells all around us, the peace that God can give us is there for us to claim like a shelter in a storm, like an anchor of hope when all seems hopeless. Like ... well, like a rock. Solid, sound, and eternally secure. [Swindoll, 1990]

When I am in a storm and in te dark, I'm looking for a bright star, I remember wat the Psalmist said: (77:6) I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditt within my heart, and my spirit makes diligent search.
